Gateway has been the best school for my son! So glad we found this small school as soon as we relocated to Manhattan with little time to spare. Tech-focused, extremely supportive of their students and ensures consistent communication with families. This school has the most dedicated Principal and Teachers in NYC. They provide a safe and supportive environment, while constantly motivating kids to take AP courses, enroll in internships within and outside of the school, and take advantage of endless opportunities. The school cares so much about the future of their students and I couldn''t imagine a better school for my son.
